According to Sheriff Jon Lopey, “The Department’s Major Crimes Unit, with support from other departmental members and allied-agency personnel from California and Oregon, did a superb job investigating this case and safely orchestrating the apprehension of two homicide suspects.

Already making up lies to cover up for your scumbag boyfriend? Kris never touched a kid, he was no child molester. Is this the argument your scumbag boyfriend and his snitch brother plan on using at trial? Good luck. They won’t last long on the inside, you can be sure of that.

Kris was my friend and brother Veteran. I don’t know if the 2 men arrested are guilty but if they are, I hope they spend the rest of their lives in prison as I wish all murderers to do! If they are innocent, I wish them a good life. Kris was not into children. Kris was into living his life and using his HERB, this is all I know him to be guilty of. We should all think before we start throwing out accusations!

There are so many more people who deserve to be off the streets but knowing these scum are no longer running amok is a huge stress release since I don’t have to worry about murders hurting my family but there are so many more sickos and druggies that need to taken away, however knowing those pethetic scum are no longer here is a god send.
